On my X61s, LCD brightness, volume up/down and mute seem to be
implemented in software. Currently, I use input events for them, but
I'd prefer a more lightweight solution (from the users point of view),
like a pure kernel solution that works independent from X logins and
input focus (in my setup, the keys don't work in OpenGL games because
the take away the input focus from the desktop environment). I don't
know if this is easy to achieve, though.
